Help Suport Our Cap and Gown Event! |
|
Cap and Gown is a long standing tradition at Wilson High School which is run completely on the generous donations from Wilson families and local businesses.
This event is a chance for all the seniors to get together after graduation to celebrate and say their goodbyes before they start the next chapter in their lives. It is an evening filled with fun activities and entertainment, where the seniors enter raffles and play games and have a chance to win prizes on items they will need in that next phase of life, whether it's college, trade school or entering the workforce.
In years past, prizes have consisted of and not limited to:
IPads, airpods, small TVs, small appliances, laptop computers, Keurig coffee makers, GoPros, basic living needs, gift cards to a variety of stores and restaurants, gift baskets and, of course, cash prizes.
All donations go directly to the graduating class on the evening of the event. Please consider making a donation to Wilson High School Cap & Gown 2021. The donation form can be found here.
We greatly appreciate your donation and helping to make this a great celebration for our graduating seniors!

Wilson Student Wins Grant for Whitfield Elementary School! |
|
Sydney Woods, current 6th grader at West Middle School and former Whitfield Elementary student, was selected as the recipient for the Sun Shade Grant for 2020 through the Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery (PAD).
Mrs. Jean McRae provided the experience for her to participate in this essay contest during her 5th grade year at Whitfield Elementary. As a result of the winning essay, Whitfield Elementary was awarded a grant of $5000 to fund a sun education or sun protection project. Sydney's essay was selected during our 2020 school shut down.
PAD graciously allowed us to postpone the donation so that we could have adequate time to discuss a proposal for the sun project with Sydney, a team of teachers, the Whitfield Home School Association, and our administration team. After our discussion, it was decided to add sun shade sales and a tree to further beautify our playgrounds and provide sun shade protection for our students. Thank you Sydney for your work in providing this amazing gift for our school!

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream"

Join the Wilson Theater Company for their final production of the 2020-2021 season! In one of the most famous of literary love quadrangles, A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the tale of Hermia, Demetrius, Lysander, and Helena; four misguided lovers whose journey into the woods lands them in even more trouble, as members of the fairy kingdom decide to use them as veritable pawns in their own love games.
Against the backdrop of the wedding of Duke Theseus and Hippolyta, and the fiery battle of wills between the Fairy King and Queen, Oberon and Titania, the four lovers are challenged by magic and trickery to finally work out what love is all about.
Directed by Wilson Senior Ben Galosi and featuring our incredibly talented cast and crew, this is a performance you won’t want to miss! Tickets are available at this link. In-person performances will be held on Thursday, May 13 at 7 pm; Friday, May 14 at 7 pm; and Saturday, May 15 at 1 pm.
